A letter to my little boy:

Dear Baby Boy, 

Honestly, I never thought that our dream of having you (a little boy) would actually happen. I always waited girls, and I got a bunch of them. Then I had a desire to have a little boy, but the odds were stacked against us. Your Daddy dreamed of a boy too, but he kept it a secret. 

God totally surprised me with this pregnancy and I had a feeling that you might be a little boy. We just moved into our new house with boxes everywhere and I was still really sad that your Grampy had gone to Heaven a few months before. When I found out that I was expecting you I wondered how I would be able to get everything done. Your Grammy moved to Bastrop and needed a lot of help too. I really did not feel good either. With your sisters I never had morning sickness, but with you I did. Don't be sorry, it is not your fault. :) we found out really early at 12 weeks that you were a little boy. We got so excited about YOU that all the morning sickness went away. We love you already and are thinking and praying about your name. Your Daddy is super excited to do guy things with you soon. He really loves his girls, but God knew the desire of his heart to have a son. He will have fun with you and a bunch of girls. Isn't he a blessed man. Someday you will be just like him! 

You will arrive around the one year anniversary of your Grampy's going home celebration. Someday you will meet him in Heaven. He was the most precious Dad to me and the best Grampy ever. We will tell you all about him and promise to teach you some of Granoy's tricks. :) We pray for you daily and look forward to you being in our family. Here is our first picture of you sweet son. We love you already!
